Peaceful village life is on your doorstep at this charming cottage set right in the heart of Great Ayton – named one of the best places to live in the North East. Dive right into the wilds of North Yorkshire with bracing country walks with your four-legged friend in tow (one dog is welcome to join you here). Then reward yourselves with lashings of tea and cake at the village cafe or a swift pint in the village inn. Or, for a little more bustle, the market towns of Stokesley (three miles away) and Middlesbrough (nine miles away) are just the ticket. Then it’s all back to the cottage to curl up beside the fire for a cosy night in – brimming with cottage charm, the original oak beams and inglenook fireplace are a delight. When thoughts turn to food, cooking is a joy in the sociable kitchen space with an atmospheric dining area to gather together for an evening meal. And when it’s finally time to lay your heads, you’ll love how private the two bedrooms feel, spaced apart across two floors – nothing could disturb your sleep here.
